MMO Game Recap: Mets 7, Nationals 4

The Mets (77-81) beat the Nationals (92-65) tonight by a score of 7 to 4 in Washington.

What you should know:

It was nice to see the Mets win a game that was as back and fourth as this one. The game was tied twice before the Mets broke through in the 8th inning for good.

Carlos Torres earned the win in relief of Dillon Gee who pitched ok in his final start of the season. Gee went 5 innings, striking out just one batter. The nationals got 9 hits and scored 4 times off of him. Torres’ one scoreless inning earned him the win. Jenrry Mejia earned his 28th save of the year.

1988. I was born in 1988 and as Mets fans we all know what that means. I lived through 1969 by hearing old stories from Tom Seaver and relived 1986 over and over in my head, pretending I was there as the final out was recorded. Being a Mets fan isn't easy and it isn't always fun but all of the bad will make the good so much sweeter. Baseball games aren't sprints and neither is building a winning team. I'm here for the long haul. Let's Go Mets!
